Hercules safety demos no more downloadable

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, TMS570LS3137

Hi,

I have to evaluate the TMS570LS31 MCU for a new dev.

I'm using an Hercules Development Kit (rev. E board) and CCS 6.01.00040

To validate my tool and HW installation, I tried the Hercules Safety MCU Demos: all worked fine.

I made my own test, particularly playing with the EMIF module as my future app will have a lot of data to access to; there are some problems, but I leave them for another post.

The problem I want to submit is a new execution of the Hercules Safety MCU Demos. I no longer can download the .out file. Demo detects the absence of the executable and starts downloading. After a while, it stops showing couldn't download, try again.

I tested on a brand new installation of the SW suite: I get the same result!

So is there a kind of firmware I could have scrambled ?

When I am using nowFlash to erase the whole flash, I get:

    "Error 135 - Algorithm has timed out, unable to coplete

     Try increasing the timeout allowed for algo execution using - w option"

I tried with w box checked and 1, 3 and 5 value with the same negative outcome.

Downloading some code from CCS works well

Is there a way I can insure my eval board is still working well ?

Thanks for your replay

Marc
